Welcome to the 2023 Computer Science Symposium
The symposium exists to give all PhD. students in Computer Science at Manchester the chance to present their work to the Department. Second-year students and above will give short talks; first-year students will present posters.
It is a great opportunity - for both staff and students - to learn about some of the fascinating research being carried out in the Department, across all areas of the subject.
